In a massive drugs bust, an Iranian boat carrying over 500 kg of narcotics has been caught off Gujarat's Porbandar after an overnight mid-sea operation. Those on board the vessel have been detained and are being questioned to find out the source of the drugs and where such a big consignment was headed, officials said.
A joint operation in the sea of Porbandar by the officials from the Gujarat Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) and the federal anti-drugs agency Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) led to the seizure.
The boat came under the radar near the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL) - which separates the international waters, after which it was brought to Porbandar.
